GLF PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2026
To celebrate the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, we invited photographers from across the world to tell powerful visual stories of these landscapes –from grasslands to savannas, woodlands, shrublands, deserts or even tundra– and the people who steward them. Entries were accepted until 6 March.
Finalists will be announced by mid-March. The panel of judges will choose the first and second prize winners from the finalist entries, while members of the public are invited to vote online for their favorite entry from 27 March. The entry with the most votes will receive the ‘popular vote’ award.
Prizes:
- Cash prizes of USD 500 (1st place), USD 400 (2nd place) and USD 300 (popular vote)
- A feature article on ThinkLandscape
- A showcase at GLF Africa 2026 and other GLF and partner events throughout the year
